Although Hong Chen didn't recognize the lasso pole, he knew he couldn't be lassoed. He turned to one side and dodged the horseman's rope. When the man on horseback saw Hong Chen passing by, he tightened the reins quickly and turned the horse's head.
, then he swung the horse pole from the other direction, and the leather rope was still directed towards Hong Chen’s head.
Up and down. Hong Chen got out of the way again and wanted to say a word to the majestic man. Before he could speak, Lei Feifeng beside him had already waved the wooden stick he broke off when he was in the mountains and ran towards the majestic man's horse, cursing:
"You piece of shit with no eyes, got it on your grandpa's head!"
Recalling the sword skills taught by Hong Chen in the shed, Lei Feifeng used a stick instead of a knife to sweep at the horse's legs. The man on horseback caught a glimpse of Lei Feifeng's movements and whipped his left hand towards Lei Feifeng. Lei Feifeng raised his stick to block the whip,
The wooden stick was snapped by the riding whip with a click. The man on horseback swung his whip again, threatening to knock Lei Feifeng to the ground.
Upon seeing this, Hong Chen immediately stepped forward, grabbed the leather rope holding the horse pole, and tugged hard. The man on horseback didn't want the horse pole to be taken away, so he held it tightly, stepped on the stirrups with both feet, and clamped the horse's belly with both legs.
. Hong Chen circulated his internal energy, and the rivers in his meridians surged. He suddenly had tremendous strength in his hands, and he actually dragged the man on horseback to the ground, including his horse and man.
As soon as the man on horseback fell, Lei Feifeng rushed forward and started to fight again. Hong Chen stopped him and said, "Third brother, don't do it! This man is not a horse bandit!" When he talked with Zha Yuguiye a few months ago, he heard that
Although there are many Gobi deserts in Qiangzhou in the west,
, but there are also fertile grasslands. Some local tribes herd horses and sheep, and migrate with the seasons. Sometimes they will go all the way east to a place very close to Tianzhou. The dress of this horseman has never been seen before. I think he is a Qiangzhou herdsman.
Although Lei Feifeng stopped, he still cursed: "What a jerk! This guy didn't say a word, but he came up and hit people with a pole. He's quite ferocious!"
Hong Chen stepped forward and wanted to pull the majestic man up from the ground. Unexpectedly, the majestic man got up from the ground, pulled out a scimitar and slashed at Hong Chen. Hong Chen slapped his right hand, knocking down the scimitar, and the majestic man reached out again.
Fall on Hong Chen's shoulder
He wanted to throw Hong Chen to the ground using a wrestling style, a shoulder grab, a trip and a push. However, Hong Chen took a step forward. Before the majestic man could see his movements clearly, he felt a blow to the knee of his left leg, and his knee sank immediately.
, half kneeling on the ground.
Hong Chen didn't want to continue the conflict, so he pressed the majestic man on the shoulder, making him unable to stand up, and said: "Friend, I was just passing by, why did you use a pole to trap me?" The majestic man said: "There is no need to pretend.
Damn it! I fell into the hands of a martial arts master from the Yu Kingdom today, so I’m unlucky. I’ll kill you or chop him into pieces as you please!”
Hong Chen said: "You and I have never met each other, why should I kill you and chop you up?" The majestic man cursed: "You guys have very good martial arts skills, but your faces are really disgusting. You are obviously here to steal horses, and you still pretend to be so.
How innocent!" Hong Chenshi understood that he was being treated as a
After seeing the horse thief, he said: "Friend, I am not a horse thief." Then he lifted the majestic man from the ground, beat the dust off his knees, and said: "It's just a misunderstanding, my friend, you are not hurt at all.
Just go after your horses, and we'll leave here."
After saying that, Hong Chen walked aside and led Lei Feifeng to continue walking towards the west. The majestic man stared blankly at Hong Chen's back, then got on the erect mount and rushed towards the direction of his own group of horses.
Soon it was night, and Hong Chen and Lei Feifeng found an open space by the river to light a fire and rest. There were wolf howls in the distance, and Lei Feifeng asked: "Teacher, have we arrived in Qiangzhou?" Hong Chen said: "
Tianjing is originally located in the west of Tianzhou. We
We started from the northwest of Tianjing and headed west, passing through mountains and ridges, and we might have reached the junction of the two states. The man before was a herdsman, and his horses were taller and more handsome than mine in Yu State.
Most of the horses I see are much prettier.”
The howling of wolves in the distance suddenly became violent and chaotic. Lei Feifeng was a little panicked: "Wolves will not come and eat us when we are sleeping." Hong Chen smiled: "Two days ago, you kept saying that you would eat tiger meat and drink bears after becoming the king of the mountain.
Blood, why are you still afraid of wolves now?" Lei Feifeng said with a straight face: "Am I not the king of the mountain yet? What's more, two fists are difficult to defeat with four hands, and a tiger is also afraid of a pack of wolves!"
"It's okay, wolves are afraid of fire." Hong Chen fiddled with the fire, coughed twice, and then said, "When I sleep, I can scare them away with just one cough."
Lei Feifeng said: "I heard that the people of Liang are barbaric, backward and vulgar. Are there any doctors here who can treat teachers?"
Hong Chen said: "That must be a rumor. If there were no doctors in the Liang Kingdom to treat people, how could there be so many strong men? As for that herdsman's ability to swing a pole and use a whip, ordinary knights and knights cannot beat him."
The two of them roasted the pheasant meat brought from the forest on the fire and ate it. They each drank some water and got into a quilt made of collected weeds to get ready to sleep. At this moment, the sound of horse hooves sounded, and Hong Chen stood up and looked.
I saw a person riding a horse in the distance, followed by a group of horses. It seemed to be the herdsman I met in the evening.
Lei Feifeng also stood up and stood next to Hong Chen, saying in surprise: "Teacher, is that person coming back to cause trouble for us?"
Hong Chen also frowned. He had heard for a long time that Qiangzhou herdsmen were upright and forthright, but today they met a troublesome one. When the man got closer, he saw something hanging on the man's pole, swinging it in the air.
It seemed to be some kind of animal that was wandering away.
The horses quickly came forward, and the herdsmen reined in their horses. Hong Chen finally saw clearly that the poles in his hands were actually two half-human-sized gray wolves.
The herdsman jumped off the horse, untied the dead wolf from its harness, held one under one arm, walked up to Hong Chen, suddenly knelt down on one knee, lowered his head and said: "Friend, I misunderstood you at that time.
Now I will give you two big wolves to feed you and clothe you!" After saying that, he put down the dead wolf, took off the scimitar from his waist, and skinned the wolf in front of Hong Chen and Lei Feifeng.
Lei Feifeng was stunned. Hong Chen walked over to help him and said: "Friend, get up quickly." The herdsman refused and insisted on peeling off the skins of the two dead wolves before taking back the knife and getting up.
He stood up, holding the wolf skins in both hands and said: "These two wolves were hanged by me. When peeling them, I focused on the fascia. There is no damage to the fur. My friend must accept it. The weather is getting colder, this big
Wolf skin is perfect for making a warm vest."
Hong Chen thought to himself that the Qiangzhou herdsmen were really generous, but due to a misunderstanding, they actually gave him two extremely complete wolf skins. He also remembered that Dr. Cha once said that the more readily you accept the gifts from the herdsmen, the more likely they will be.
Happy, if you refuse, they will think you look down on them, so they will laugh twice: "Thank you, friend!" and reach out to take the wolf skin.
The herdsman said again: "Friends, you two are wearing thin clothes and it is not easy to spend the night on the grassland. I will help you dry the wolf skin. Although it is not as good as drying, the skin will not crack. You can wrap it tonight."
Fell asleep."
Hong Chen readily agreed. Lei Feifeng originally hated this herdsman, but he was very happy to see the wolf skin. In his mind, wearing wolf skin clothes was equivalent to wearing half a tiger skin coat, and he was half a mountain king.
While the herdsmen were roasting wolf skins, Hong Chen chatted with him and found out that his name was "Ba Yitian" and he was from the "White Tooth Tribe". He drove his horses to the border of Tianzhou and Qiangzhou in autumn to herd them.
Horses. This area has rich water and grass, but because there are horse thieves, horse thieves sometimes steal horses.
, and also kill herdsmen, so Qiangzhou herdsmen rarely come to herd in recent years. Ba Yitian thought that there were fewer herdsmen herding horses, and horse thieves would no longer come, so he came to herd horses, but he was still afraid of horse thieves.
When I first saw Hong Chen, I felt like I had met a horse thief.
After learning the truth, Hong Chen covered his mouth, coughed twice, and said with a smile: "Brother Ba, I'm not afraid of your jokes. I see that each of the horses you raise is more powerful than the last, and I really want to ask for one to be a mount."
When Bayitian heard this, he patted Hong Chen on the shoulder: "Friend! You are really discerning, and I am the best horse breeder in our tribe. Come back with me, and I will give you the best horse I have ever raised.
